Eidos-Montreal and Square Enix still aren't ready to pin a release date on upcoming sci-fi action prequel, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but the developer and publisher are ready to take your pre-orders for the standard and just announced limited edition of the game.

To sweeten the deal, Eidos and Square Enix are throwing in some bonus content. Pre-order the standard edition and you'll receive the Explosive Mission Pack. The pack features an additional mission (Tong's Rescue) with a special appearance from one of the original Deus Ex characters as well as a multi-shot grenade launcher, remote detonated explosive device, and an automatic unlocking device.

The limited Augmented Edition, which sells for $10 more than the standard game, includes a making-of DVD, soundtrack, motion comic, animated storyboard, and a 40-page art book.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is being developed for Windows PCs, the Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Square Enix has yet to date the game, but retailers taking pre-orders like Amazon.com state the game will ship on March 8.

Sharkey says: Eidos has been working on this one for a good four years. It's been a long wait for fans of the franchise like yours truly, but if the game plays as well as it looks in the trailers, it will be well worth it.
